villa-revolution Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned but a Holt is the name of an otters den. Yes I believe that was previously posted on here by someone called Tarka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Strangely, I have a good feeling about his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm not keen on us signing Holt permanently, so I hope that does not happen. But as a short term deal and for him to be a loud person in the dressing room, it makes sense and could help some of the youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Lambert has been quoted in saying it was a no brainer signing Holt. Not sure what he means by this?? he was signed by somebody without a brain?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Lambert has been quoted in saying it was a no brainer signing Holt. Not sure what he means by this?? he was signed by somebody without a brain?? I can't imagine Kevin Bacon using the line " Signing Grant Holt from Wigan Athletic? Or a player that isnt fat and shit? No brainer" on his next EE advert. Edited January 18, 2014 by sonic_bouma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Strangely, I have a good feeling about his time here. Same here matey!! Can see him grabbing a few goals for us and helping us win a few games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just scored a few belters with him on FIFA 14 so I've changed my mind about him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what he means by this?? he was signed by somebody without a brain?? Its kinda what I thought, a strange comment this? I mean a no brainer would be like, " Xavi on a cheap 6 month loan" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSepulchrave Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Weirdly, I think this is Lambert wanting to play a better style of football. I think he wants players in the backroom and on the pitch who played with him at Norwich, so he can help make us transition from quick counter attack only to playing in a style more reminiscent of his Norwich. Plus, if you're going to sign a player for an off the field impact (and I subscribe to Carregher and Neville's theories that this is why he was brought in), it's not a bad shout signing one you know well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) His Norwich team were predominantly a counter attacking team and their is nothing wrong with that. We just have no style. Edited January 18, 2014 by lp_villa830 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lp_villa830 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-Lambert I just feel we should be able to pass the ball to someone in the same shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Proof was second half at Arsenal, we can play that way, I just think Lambert does't trust the team.............Yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazvfc Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Proof was second half at Arsenal, we can play that way, I just think Lambert does't trust the team.............Yet! And remember the same time last year against Newcastle (lots of similarities) - 2nd half we passed them off the park but failed to equalise. At that time Benteke had also scored 6 in 16 - scored against Newcastle and we started believing (as well as a change of formation). What about the first 70 mins against Everton at home - arguably the best we have played. We passed the ball around well then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget Sunderland last season,(smashed) Arsenal, Man City this season. We have seen the football, its down to tactics not the ability. Not saying they have the skills to pass Arsenal off the pitch, but they can play this way, Just Lambert Dont!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yeah can't start playing that way when 2-0 down, I think the players panic, at 2-0 there's nothing really to lose. But at 0-0 they are too nervous. First goal is always crucial with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamberts style of play and tactics are straight out of the 1980's so its hardly a shock. Every team he as managed plays shite football, given this seasons signings of Kozak and Grant and the fact he has not bought in any midfielders suggest were going to have to sit through another 3 and a half years of this shite he sticks around for this 5 year plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
